Description: English: I came across a Hawaiian monk seal on the beaches of Malaekahana State Park, at least 7ft in length and probably at least 500lbs. I'm guessing it was a female, possibly pregnant. Date: 2 May 2012. Source: Own work. Author: Stevetoy1.
Description: Who could resist that face?! Hawaiian monk seals like this individual are endemic to the state of Hawaii, meaning they can only be sound in Hawaiian waters. With only an estimated 1,100 individuals remaining in the area, Hawaiian monk seals are currently considered critically endangered. Folks at Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, and NOAA Fisheries Service are working hard to protect these seals. But everyone can help! Marine debris is one of the threats monk seals face, so by reducing the amount of plastic we use, keeping our trash out of the water, and assisting with cleanups, we can all help these seals survive.
